83 GT Vert Build Thread - "Back in Black"

[Bryan Knebworth]

Are you sure? The drivers seatback looks cracked. There are a few '82 GT's with these seats. They are nice in the summertime, they don't burn like vinyl

The drivers is cracked, has a tear. Yes I'm sure they are vinyl, and yes to 83.

Great car, regardless. Now get this back on the road soon!

[BTD]

That's the hope. Within a month I think

Wiring done. Only visible wire will be the one that goes from distributor to harness.

All safe and secure. Next is plumbing,fuel coolant etc. Going with Royal purple for atf and oil, prestone for coolant.

Does anyone know the fitting size on the stock fuel pump?

Right on man, great progress

[BTD]

Yup gonna do the timing and finally start it. Only thing original left in the engine is the cam and pistons. Replaced crankshaft, all gaskets, rods, lifters, rocker arms, oil pump, fuel pump, carb, intake, fuel lines, tank, rewired to look way cleaner
